Final Environmental Assessment for

BRAC 95 Disposal and Reuse of Fort

Missoula, MT

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: In accordance with Pub. L.

101–510 (as amended), the Defense Base

Closure and Realignment Act of 1990,

the Defense Base Closure and

Realignment Commission recommended

the closure of Fort Missoula, Montana.

The Final Environmental Assessment

(EA) evaluates the environmental

impacts of the disposal and subsequent

reuse of the 52 acres. Alternatives

examined in the EA include

encumbered disposal of the property,

unencumbered disposal of the property,

and no action. Encumbered disposal

refers to transfer or conveyance of

property having restrictions on

subsequent use as a result of any Armyimposed or legal restraint. Under the no

action alternative, the Army would not

dispose of property but would maintain

it in caretaker status for an indefinite

period.

While disposal of Fort Missoula is the

Army’s primary action, the EA also

analyzes the potential environmental

effects of reuse as a secondary action by

means of evaluating intensity-based

reuse scenarios. The Army’s preferred

alternative for disposal of Fort Missoula

property is encumbered disposal, with

encumbrances pertaining to the possible

presence of lead-based paint and

asbestos-containing material, and the

requirement for a right of reentry for

environmental clean-up.

A Notice of Intent (NOI) declaring the

Army’s intent to prepare an EA for the

disposal and reuse of Fort Missoula was

published in the Federal Register on

September 22, 1995 (60 FR 49264).

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

August 7, 1998. Comments received on

this EA will be considered by the Army

prior to initiating action.

COPIES: The Final EA is available for

review at the Fort Missoula Public

Library. A copy of the Final EA may be

obtained by writing to Mr. Ken Brunner,

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle

District (ATTN: CENWS–ED–TB–ER),

Proposed Implementation of the

Defense Table of Official Distances

(DTOD) for Passenger Transportation

and Travel Services

AGENCY: Military Traffic Management

Command, DoD.

ACTION: Notice (Request for Comments).

SUMMARY: The Military Traffic

Management Command (MTMC), as the

Program Director for the Department of

Defense (DoD), intends to utilize a new

automated distance calculation product

known as the Defense Table of Distances

(DTOD) as part of the Groups

Operational Passenger System (GOPAX).

The DTOD will replace existing distance

calculation products used within the

DoD, such as DoD Official Table of

Distances. The DTOD will become the

DoD standard source for distance

information worldwide. Commercially,

DTOD is known as PC*MILER by ALK

Associates, Inc. Carriers may continue

to use other mileage sources for

preparation of Offers of Service, and for

their own business purposes. However,

the DTOD/PC*MILER will be the DoD

Standard for all distance calculations,

analysis or audits for transportation

services billed on a per mile (mileage)

basis. Carriers and passenger service

providers participating in the DoD

passenger transportation and travel

services programs must agree to be

bound by the DTOD/PC*MILER

distance calculations for payment and

audit purposes.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before September 8, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed

to: Headquarters, Military Traffic

Management Command, ATTN: MTOP–

T, Room 617, 5611 Columbia Pike, Falls

Church, VA 22041–5050.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Additional information concerning the

DTOD for MTMC Passenger

Transportation and Travel Services

Programs can be provided by contacting

Ms. Beverly Cox at (703) 681–9444.

Information regarding DTOD compliant

commercial software and other

technical information can be provided

by contacting ALK Associates, Inc. at 1

www.pcmiler.com.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. The proposed effective date for use

of the DTOD in DoD Passenger

Transportation and Travel Services

programs is 1 June 1999.

2. Existing Groups Operational

Passenger System (GOPAX) mileage

tables will be replaced by DTOD/

PC*MILER software.

3. ALK Associates, Inc., will provide

all interested parties the capability to

license PC*MILER, to ensure the ability

to consistently determine the exact

mileage that the DOD uses for

entitlement determination and audit

purposes.
